Everyone Shut The Fuck Up. It's Just An Art Gallery Let People Do Or Believe What They Want To Believe And If You Feel It Won't Turn Out The Way They Aspire To Be Then They Will Be Disappointed By There Own Fault You Don't Need To Post Comments On A YouTube Video.

This was such a great show. Glad this is getting some press.

I'd like you to meet my friend Straw Man.

Oh, I see you two are already intimately acquainted. Cheers, then.

"representative plutocracy" lol, so how do you tie a political mandate to your walmart shopping? ^^

and somehow i think you are doing a wurzelbacher here - rooting for the system that disenfranchises you

[aphexmandelbrot]

We've lived it for the past 40 years. And we live in a representative plutocracy; not an authoritarian plutocracy or a fascist plutocracy.

You may wish to revise your definitions of the last two prefixes to plutocracy before swinging them around - unless it is your intention to come across as poorly informed.

dear David... uh, do you Read? History? do the words Anarchy or greed mean anything to you?

Please don't "explode" an admittedly flawed but working system. Change it. from the inside.

Shepard says he's ignoring his disgust of bureaucracy, because he must think we finally have the angels he wants in office. We don't, we never will. Government is wasteful, corrupt, and tyrannical. Force the government out of our lives, and see the explosion of prosperity that will result.
